How many questions should I solve to get a good score in CMAT?

Since every section of CMAT has 20 questions in total, solving 15-18 questions in each section with 80 per cent accuracy is considered a good attempt in CMAT and it can ensure good percentile in the exam. In GK section, about 10-12 correct attempts will be enough. Out of 100 questions, candidates must try to solve about 70-75 questions to get 99 percentile. However, candidates must aim to solve higher number of questions with maximum accuracy and minimise on negative marking. To be able to achieve this target, candidates need to prepare for the CMAT in a dedicated and disciplined manner. The candidate must keep minimum three months aside for completing the CMAT syllabus as they have to study five subjects and their numerous topics. If they have appeared for CAT XAT and IIFT exam then they can complete the CMAT syllabus in one month too. However, it is advised that candidates spend at least three months on the CMAT syllabus for complete preparation.

<p>Since every section of the CMAT has 20 questions in total, solving 15-18 questions in each section with 80 percent accuracy is considered a good attempt in CMAT and it can ensure a good percentile in the exam. Solving all 100 questions is not mandatory. About 75-80 questions in total will get a good score. Candidates must opt to attempt only those questions they can solve correctly to avoid negative markings. If you plan to prepare for the CMAT exam, then you should put in 4 to 6 hours daily studying. Those scoring 345 to 350 marks will likely secure 100 percentile, and those scoring 285 to 340 marks will get 99 to 99.99 percentile. Solving 100 questions in three hours is very easy if you are accurate.</p>
